Loud big event
10,000 shooters and only one capercaillie in Mondsee
Six years of preparations culminated in shots being fired at the weekend in Mondsee: From Thursday to Sunday, 10,000 marksmen from twelve nations met in the Salzkammergut for the European Shooting Festival. Celebrities were also there.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen The major event with a total of 45,000 visitors was organized by a specially founded festival association under Chairman Robert Schwaighofer, who describes the dimensions of the gathering: "We have a tent with an area of just over 10,000 square meters and can tap 25,000 beers per hour."
Shooting king "shoots" capercaillie
Of course, the focus was on celebrating traditions together - and shooting out the European shooting king: "You shoot from a distance of 18 meters upwards at a wooden crossbar on which a carved capercaillie is mounted. You keep shooting at the crossbar until the wooden bird falls down," explains Schwaighofer. Whoever manages this with one shot becomes the shooting king. This year, a participant from Poland succeeded.
Political celebrities also attended the festival, including Federal President Alexander Van der Bellen, Governor Thomas Stelzer and his Vice Governor Christine Haberlander.
